Numb

So many thing happened this weekend. Me and my dad got into two really bad fights. He made me feel like shit. He told me all I do is runaway from my problems and that I am selfish and that its like he is drowning and all Im doing is pulling him under. He also cussed me out. He was soo mean to me. Sunday night I cried myself to sleep, and now I am just numb. I talked to my pychologist today and she was like maybe your dad is right, and that really pissed me off. So now I feel like shit.

You know, your dad probably has no clue what to do. Imagine one of your best friends or sisters slowly killing herself...and for what? Because she doesn't feel she's worth nutrition? Wouldn't you be terrified, and just want to shake her back to reality? Your dad has gone about showing you he cares in all the wrong ways, because he feels desperate and scared out of his mind.

As for your therapist, she sounds like an iceberg. I would say that you need to find another therapist that will make you feel more comfortable. I went through eight therapists before I found my current one, and she is an utter godsend.

Please don't give up in this fight. Live for yourself, and try to take what others say with a grain (or more) of salt.

Sorry that your Dad reacted so harshley. I'm sure he's scared for you but that doesn't give him the right to cuss at you and be mean. Your therapist seems to be an idiot. Get another one and take your Dad for a family session so he gets an understanding that you are ill and need help and love to overcome this.

Yeah, family therapy might work. It would help him to understand how to deal with you in a more positive way.

Even though he didn't do it the right way, he is probably just not sure how to deal and he just kind of took it out on you in a nonconstructive way.

Just talk to him. You won't make him understand completely, but maybe he'll calm down a bit. :)

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
